Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:

In sooth even the high and mighty power of creator God is not above the cycle of births and deaths. Dead men cannot suffer from stomachache; or a waking person is not drowned in the high floods (seen) in a dream; even so, those that have once come to abide in Me, are not touched by the cycle of births and deaths. The abode of the creator God, is indeed the crown (head) of the universe (of name and form) and so it is the floor of all the eternal immortal abode of Gods, and the top (śikhara) of the mountain in the form of the three worlds—in that place the period of the first three hours (prahara) of the day, covers the entire life-time of God Indra. In this way the passage of a day witnesses as many as fourteen such Indras.
